  2. On a long trip, particularly on straight roads like interstates, cruise comes in handy to rest your hand and wrist. Usually just for a few minutes. Many of us have throttle locks for the same purpose.
  3. If you have the MAX App (HBO). You can watch the entire weekend, all classes and practice, quals, print & feature.
  4. OK, I finally figured out MAX and have all those added to my favorites. Great stuff.
  5. The only spot I see that's available for Moto GP is Tru TV at noon - 2:00 central. All they have listed TBA at those times. @GuzziMoto
  6. Still no info whether CNBC will broadcast?
  7. Thanks for your thoughts @PJPR01 Paul. My status is up and down lately.
  8. I haven't been to Dusty's in a couple of years. He wrote me this might be the last spring Guzzi Rally. The old Guzzi guys aren't getting any younger. Covid, WG, and social differences have had an impact too. If you want to see some of the old crowd at one time, this could be it. Not sure I'll have my Greenie out of the shop or even know my status up from down to be there. Looks like Paul is all in. Leroy too. My last go around, we saw Elon's 60 satellites in the sky and thought the aliens were here. Paul's bike was running hot. Wes pulled the rear of his Cali following my Duc at 100+ after returning from Marland mansion. There's the OZ motorcycle museum, the Pioneer woman's ranch, Phillips museum and the Flowers of the Killer Moon. The big deal, Dusty fries catfish on Sat night.
  9. I didn't think it would be hot with the key off.
  10. It's too late, I've burned up the bike. I'm now a former V11 rider. I took off the starter. Unfortunately, I only unhooked the battery ground. The hot starter wire grounded on the shock adjuster when I was working on it. I smelled fire and got it free but too late. The electrics are dead. Totally. Fuses are ok but there's melted insulation under the side cover. So far as the shifter, I was able to get the adjuster off and backed it with an allen head and tighten it. Have no idea about that. Believe me, I'm sick about it.
  11. OK, I've gotten this, with the starter hanging. What I noticed is that the pivot nut (about 2 o'clock from the red circle) is loose as hech with a lot of play. It appears the nut screws into a pin that attached the adjustable screw arm to the pivot arm below. The problem I'm having, the pin just turns with the nut and there's nothing to garb on the back of the pin. The only way to get behind it is move the lever in the upshift position but there is still nothing to grab the back since it seems to be a smooth pinhead. Perhaps it's supposed to have this much slack? and I should mess with something else? OK, looking at Harper's diagram, I see it's a screw and appears to be an allen head. So perhaps I can get an all wrench to hold it while I tighten the nut?
  12. Actually, I think Marc's aggressive style has pretty much infected the most of the field. Lot's more blocking and contact now. Frankly, Rossi wasn't known to passive either. I think it's perhaps gone to far and we see more riders calling it out. Dorna has itself to blame for it, because they've ran interference for the fellow countryman. But '15 was way beyond the pale. Allowing Marc for get away with that and penalizing Rossi, I think that has remained a divisive effect in the paddock. One might remember that the field parted on the last race of '15 to let Rossi through. That's a sign of respect not often displayed.
  13. I admire Marc's talent and his brave come back from injury. I'll cheer for him as a competitor and a contender but it will take a lot more for me to want to see him champion again. What he got away with 2015 ruined the season and ruined the goodwill I had for the guy. If he has a good season and contends for the title, I'm sure that one of the manufacturers will offer him an attractive package. Likely not Ducati unless he wins the title for them against a competitor on another brand of bike.
